Updates have been made!
I read the reviews and almost didn't install this. First off, any way a parent can consolidate all their children's info into one place that is obviously handy is a 5 for me. There are now fields that address specific characteristics as well as a comment field. It may seem elementary, however, in an emergency situation, that is what we resort to. Something simple is what is needed. Something that can easily be communicated with the critical information at your fingertips. If nothing else, it encourages you to take a recent photo. I haven't looked too far into this, but I am assuming that you can take updated pictures of the child. Which as stated by authorities is one of thee most important things needed to help locate your child. One update I would like to see, is an option to set a reminder to update your child's photo throughout the year. We all lead busy lives, and download many apps...this one is important and should have a reminder. As far as kids playing on our iPhones...yes they do, but just tuck this app into "Mommy's" folder...not on the little ones game page!! Problem solved! Thanks for creating an app that will help us help you!

Great App.
I love this app, it is a great use for the iPhone and other devices. I think a great improvement would be to add a tab for entering notes about the authorities that may be handling the case, so you have one place to go to for all things about the child's case. Also making the text and number fields more user friendly would be nice. The boxes should default to capital letters and some fields could be defaulted to numbers. Otherwise this app is spot on for the FBIs first app. It is about time the government did something right!!
